Baptists: At least 15 - One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chicken.

Episcopalians: 3 - One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks, and one to talk about how much better the old one was.

Mormons: 5 - One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do it.

Unitarians: We choose not to make a statement either in favor of, or against, the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, you are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, 3-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.

Methodists: Undetermined - Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, tulip bulb. Bring a bulb of your choice to the Sunday lighting service and a covered dish to pass.

Nazarene: 6 - One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.

10 Fascinating Facts That Are Wrong (Via) First off, I don't agree with number ten (first on the list). Refined sugar IS bad for us. They are talking about how HFCS are comparable to refined white sugar. I agree that they are similar in chemical make-up, so that means they are both bad for us.

NIN's Trent Reznor raised more than $645K for a fan that needed a heart transplant. (Via) Very cool! I guess that Twitter can be used for good; but my gosh people it's not that great. Twitter officially jumped the shark when Ashton Kutcher's Twittering contest with CNN made national news. I'm afraid that Twitter will take over the world. I saw on ESPN yesterday team updates are delivered via Twitter.

The state Supreme Court was ignoring the Constitution when it upheld Prop 8. (Via) They claim that the voters had decided. Well, let's take some things into consideration here…First the general voters never know what they are voting for or against. For instance, I bet at least 65% of the people that went to the polls last November thinking they were voting for equal rights by voting yes. The wording was confusing on purpose. Second, really people? Civil liberties are not voter issues! While we are at it, we could add measures to take away the voting rights of women… The people (Including Miss California…<insert grunt>) that are trying to uphold the sanctity of marriage by eliminating the rights of others are ignoring their hypocrisy. Over half of all marriages end in divorce. Well, that to me indicates that traditional marriage is not sacred. If same sex couples want to marry, LET THEM. They are not you; they will probably be together longer than you will be with your current spouse. If anything, it would increase revenue for the state of California and would start getting us out of this deficit. The state almost deserves to fail financially after some of the recent decisions. If IOWA can support same sex unions, why can't California?

The car warranty phone scam has been squashed. They were driving me nuts, calling at least twice a day. At one point, I was going to post their number so everyone could call them back and annoy them! (Via)

7 Tips for making good conversation with a stranger. (Via) It has been shown that positive mental health can be perpetuated through little interactions throughout the day, such as a short conversation with a stranger. My positive mental health stems from my rage directed at strangers such as people that cut in line at the grocery store or moron drivers.

Waitress Fired from Trophy's in Mission Valley because she refused to wear makeup. Apparently, this is legal… (Via)

The credit card reform bill passed (Via) This does not go into effect until 9 months after Obama signs his name. Beware; I have a feeling the failing credit card companies are going to arbitrarily raise rates while they can. They must suck every last penny from the public to save their thieving a$$e$.

10 Amazing Survival Stories(Via) This reminds me of one of my favorite books. Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales is definitely in my top 5 favorite books. I have been meaning to start reviewing books and movies. I will start posting them soon.

Montauk Monster Returns!(Via)This creature that looks like it crawled out off of the Island of Dr. Moreau has been seen before. There are a lot of people that now spend a disproportionate amount of time looking for these things. Ewww…

Mixed Links and Images. Very cool stuff (Via) Hey Bob, there is a very interesting segment halfway down that highlights green buildings.

Tara, more proof I wasn't lying when I said pepper increases your metabolism. I know that was 11 years ago, but I swear I wasn't lying on purpose. Here is an interesting article: 6 Secrets For Lasting Weight Control (Via)

The Usual Suspects is one of my favorite movies! Here the writer and director discuss Valkyrie (which, by the way, can't be good) and The Usual Suspects. Sad really that they had to ruin a good movie with a suck actor like Tom… (Via)

Movie trivia: Ocean's Eleven (2001) (Via) I really liked this movie. I am slowly warming up to 12 and 13. Alas, I didn't see the original, I have that weird aversion to old movies. Enjoy the trivia!

Here is a (sorry) slideshow of pictures taken with Rahm Emanuel and Nancy Pelosi. At first, I thought the slow news day prompted bottom dragging rumors. Not so, my friend. These are hilarious! I think these two are together…hmmm (Via)

Miss California will keep her title. (Via) Bummer. I was hoping that they would take it away. I watched the press conference, she stated at one point that she has rights to her beliefs along with everyone else (I'm having trouble finding the exact quote, I will post it this afternoon when everyone on the Internet starts up). Umm, careful what you say sweetheart. Just the other day you said that people shouldn't have the rights to marry the person they love…

To my mother: You are the most amazing person I know. I love everything that you have ever done for me, you have sacrificed so much. You have always believed in me. You are always so supportive. I miss you everyday.Happy Mother's Day!

Miss California might lose her crown. Where is you God now? (Via Fark) This girl sucks. I hope they take her crown! It has been a PR nightmare for her since it was found out that pageant officials paid for her breast implants. Then she talks about how "opposite marriage" is ruining the sanctity of marriage. Opposite marriage? REALLY? Anyway the sad thing is; she will lose her crown based on the fact that she posed for some bad pictures when she was a teen. I think they should take a stand against their idiots and dethrone her for stupidity.

I'm not completely sure how the 5 people who read this feel about the anti-vaccination movement. This is more data to prove that they are wrong (in contrast to the weak evidence linking vaccinations and autism). Not vaccinating your kids poses more risks from disease than the small chance that they will develop autism. Chemicals added to our food hold more of a chance of killing us slowly. Read here (Via)
